At noon, the two elders of the Jiang family did not leave, and had a meal here.

The father and son in the front yard drank tea and talked in the hall after dinner, and Lu Wei accompanied the old lady to walk around the courtyard.

Old Madam Yu obviously had something to say, and quickly sent everyone around her away.

The two went to the pavilion in the small lotus pond, and Mrs. Yu said to Lu Wei: "Can you sit with me, an old woman?" ”

Xiang'er repeated the words, Lu Wei nodded, and asked people to prepare tea and refreshments.

Old Madam Yu sat down on the stone table, looked at Lu Wei opposite, and asked with a smile, "Is there another one?" ”

Lu Wei nodded.

She was still a little alienated when she talked to Old Madam Yu now, after all, she could feel that Old Madam didn't like her very much when she was in the Hou Mansion.

Old Madam Yu didn't expect to ease the relationship once, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing." Boyuan's person is emotionally late, and it is also a blessing to meet you. I'm old, and it's inevitable that I will be confused in the past, and my grandmother apologizes to you, don't be angry with my grandmother, and Boyuan and the children will rely on you to worry about it in the future. ”

There is a trace of vicissitudes in Mrs. Yu's words, she is already a person buried in the loess to her neck, maybe she won't be able to get up when she falls asleep that day, and some things are too concerned about being unhappy with herself.

Lu Wei didn't expect her to apologize to herself, she looked at Xiang'er with some uncertainty, and saw her nod before she was sure that she didn't understand wrong.

She quickly shook her head and waved her hand, indicating that she didn't care, and it was also her responsibility to take care of her husband and children.

Old Madam Yu nodded, whether she really forgave her or not, she felt much more comfortable to be able to say this.

On the side of the main hall, Jiang Peng was telling his son about his future plans.

He talked about the right to surrender the army, and also mentioned that he planned to separate from the three brothers.

Although he and the old lady are still there, it is impossible to let the youngest son go back after making a fuss like this in the family.

The title of the Hou Mansion is naturally the boss, and he has long been asked to be named the prince.

As for the family's money and the shops, Zhuangzi, and land outside, Jiang Peng also considered it, and divided it into four parts, one for each of the three rooms, and one for him to provide for the elderly.

He not only wants to release military power, but also divides the family!

Jiang Boyuan pinched the teacup for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses.

"I also have a four-hall house on Nanshang Street, if you think it's small here, you can move there, and then it will be under your name."

Jiang Peng was still talking about his plans in detail, and he interrupted his son coldly.

"Why?"

Jiang Peng was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "I can't stay outside for the rest of my life, there will always be a day when I come back." ”

That's why?

Jiang Boyuan was a little unconvinced, but he wanted to split up, he had no opinion, who would think that he had too much money.

In the afternoon, Jiang Peng went back with his old mother and recruited the family to mention the matter of separation.

The boss inherited the knighthood, and this marquis mansion will be his.

When Jiang Peng stepped down, he thought of a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city to retire, which was very close to the barracks of the city defense army.

The old man has planned everything, and the children and grandchildren naturally have no opinions, after all, this family is still the old man.

Wen scolded on the spot, she is not dead yet, she is going to move out of this Hou Mansion and share her family.

Jiang Peng ignored her, if the Wen family was willing to follow him, it would be okay if he didn't want to choose one of the two to live.

The couple quarreled all night, and finally Wen decided to spend time with his eldest son.

Mrs. Yu felt that she had no two years to live, and wanted to return to her hometown in Pingyang to return to her roots.

Jiang Peng responded to her request, personally asked the emperor for leave, and sent the old lady home.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Emperor Zhuang Wen granted his request to step down, arranged a spare duty of the City Defense Division, and dispersed the military power in his hands.

Jiang Peng's ability is outstanding, his two sons are not as good as him, although he also led the army, but it is impossible to catch up with his father's glory for the time being.

After handing over the errands in hand, Jiang Peng began to divide the family.

Wen was still angry and didn't care about this matter, he took the account book and recruited a few stewards to get the matter done within a few days.

After doing these things, Jiang Peng was ready to send his mother back to Pingyang, and when he left, he came to the small garden to see his grandson, and said to Jiang Boyuan: "This trip may take two or three years to return." The bones of your mother and my little sister are also ready to be put in the coffin together, so that they can enter the ancestral tomb of the Jiang family, and the whole family also has a companion underground. ”

"Why did you take them?"

Jiang Boyuan obviously disapproves.

I didn't care about it at the beginning, but now I actually pretend to be kind.

Jiang Peng smiled lightly, "Yu'er is my only daughter, although your mother is not a wife, she is also a beloved woman." At the beginning, the two of us went through a lot of misunderstandings to get to that point, and I've looked down on it for so many years, and I don't care about it for a long time, don't think about it, some things can't be explained. ”

's concubine and daughter, I can't control what to do with Jiang Boyuan, who is a son and brother.

In mid-October, just as the officials from all walks of life who were invigilating the township examination outside were returning to the court, Jiang Peng and his party set off for Pingyang.

Wen heard that he had brought the mother and daughter to the ancestral tomb, and was so angry that he vomited blood and was bedridden, and only two sons and a few grandchildren came to see him off.

Jiang Peng rode on his horse and waved to them, and saw a person standing on the city wall from a distance.

Jiang Peng smiled, thinking that the kid was not coming.

Even if he doesn't want to see himself, he can't let go of his mother and sister.

Song Tian returned from Liangzhou and heard that Jiang Peng had delegated power, and his brows furrowed deeply.

He found Jiang Boyuan, and when he heard that Jiang Peng might not return in a year or two, he was even more worried.

The king with a different surname has not been removed, and the court has lost another tiger general, which is not appropriate.

"Bo Yuan, can you write a letter to let Hou Ye return to Beijing as soon as possible?"

Jiang Peng has been in the army for many years, and his status is deep-rooted, as long as others are there, it is also a kind of suppression for those people.

Jiang Boyuan didn't speak, looked at Song Tian and said, "I have never given him any letters. ”

It means he doesn't want to write.

Song Tian smiled, "As a courtier, you should put aside your personal grievances and share your worries for the court and the people." ”

Song Tian had heard about the Jiang family's separation and Fuling's return to his hometown, and it stands to reason that this person's resentment should have disappeared a little.

Sure enough, Jiang Boyuan became silent, thought for a while, and said, "It's only a matter of a year or two, and those people shouldn't be so rampant." ”

Song Tian shook his head, "I'm afraid that they will reach out to the barracks, at least let Jiang Houye guard the city defense army." ”

After a long time, Jiang Boyuan sighed: "I will let people go to Pingyang to deliver the letter." ”

"By the way, how did your father do in the township exam this time, can he be moved?"

Speaking of his father, Song Tian sighed, "I was almost taught by my father back then, if it weren't for the private case, he would have entered the court as an official long ago." In this township examination, he entered the five classics and ranked third. ”
